The Acts themselves are available in a printable format on our shop www.acts.co.za/shop. There are also purchase links in the acts themselves.

 

Can we answer your legal queries?

 

We are not lawyers, please do not send us case histories or employment situations. While we sympathise with the situation we suggest that you contact a lawyer or legal aid for help.

 

Where can I find an Act that is not on Acts Online?

 

If the Act was gazetted after 1993 you can normally find it on the web site of the government department that administers it, start at http://www.gov.za/ and go to the "Documents" section, work your way around from there.
